How to turn a train into a shark through G&T

by Sarah Louise Crewe

Slither his tail end
on smoke periphery.
Coin eyes conceal
sea dog soul window schtick.
Coach ends as scaled
parenthesis. Surge
thrust/pulse out of water
in your palms. Trans-postcode
pendolino dolly with
shark's eye poppy round her neck.
Watch wound up to dilate
Polysubstantial bite marks
and it's not just the quinine
That is setting her to burn.

Casper the Basking Shark

by Sarah Louise Crewe

storm in the Port
the rain could break
a bone shark's neck

you wade in
200 tiny teeth -set on edge
skin hisses fissures from

lampreys cookiecutters
scan for a dock
a place to caaaaaaalm
                   dowwwwn

but you rarely rest
jaw is a cavern
flash your three bar
grill at Baby Blue

raise a crescent moon tail
to omnipotent sky

i cannot believe that you came here
                                           to die
